Happy New Year.

This year's start was filled with snow and bitter cold, just like winter.
However, since we work with living things, the entire company does not take any days off during the year-end and New Year holidays.
All of our staff members are working on their jobs while adjusting their shifts and taking time off from time to time.
It may not be a job that everyone can do.
That is why we believe that there is value in the agriculture and livestock farming we engage in.

Well, 2022 has begun.
Globally, the impact of the new coronavirus continues to be devastating. I can't predict what's ahead.
The Beijing Winter Olympics are coming up in February. I'm looking forward to watching the game, but due to this influence,
We are also concerned about the impact of raw material prices. There are signs that global prices will continue to rise, raw material prices will continue to rise, and the yen will weaken.
There is a wind of opposition in our industry.

Despite this, we will continue to proactively and consistently manage the entire company this year.
Together with our employees, we will work hard to become a company that is more loved by the world, and to deliver products that are more loved by our customers.

Thank you for your continued support this year.
